Kettle or Skirt,you guys have permission to control my character.I haven't been in my right mind lately and I apologize,as I really enjoy this.I'm not leaving,I'll be checking in,It's just that I lack enough time to sit down and construct a detailed post.

@4bucks -- I PM'd you

@Everyone -- re: NPC's

I just wanted to remind everyone that the welder/metalworker is 100% NPC right now. His name is Vict and he works with Frieda in Spark and Flame. He's a sort of magical NPC, if you need something made or fixed, bring it by the shop and it will be so. No need for a spare interaction. He will trade you for caps, decent scrap metal, and maybe a little bit of ammo (he carries a hunting rifle).

Alrighty, will be a country wide post. I don't think Harlen and Scythe have met yet so I don't have to worry about that, good to G.O. Then.

Sorry ladies and gents for the next week my posting will be little to non existent

edit: For my last post I'm going to head off to megaton so my presence won't be missed

@Wolfman and Holy: Feel free to control me when you catch up

sorry for the inconvenience everyone

No worries mate. Cheers for letting us know. BTW, nice way to write yourself out for a little while. :thumbsup:

Will miss ya Billybob,

Ya'll come back now though, ya hear?

Ah, darn, will miss ya Billy.

I hope it's ok with you two(Holy, Skirt) how I just went along with things (Holy) and just had Rusty immediately do dishes and Celeste thank him(Skirt). I thought it only natural she would thank him and Harlen would be watching the scene play out.

I guess I was in the wrong with having Rusty help out with dishes

I thought you were addressing me as "Holy Skirt" and I'd have to tell you I fell from grace a long, long time ago...

I wrote my post the way I did because I'm trying to draw you more into an approach of interacting with characters. CC is okay if you require that you move your character through quickly, but in general you should try and interact more. I mean, that's the fun of RP, right? <3

Also...there's no sink in the diner. Celeste brews coffee using bottles of purified water and washes the dishes at her house.

Heh, and I'd have to tell you through my extensive research it's pretty mug impossible for any of us to fall from His grace

I will change my post after work and have Rusty interact more with Somebody, as Harlen is busy with the Pawnee situation.

Psst...he can interact with Celeste. I've set it up that way. I took the time to half-ass a post, you should read it. I get that you're pressed for time at the moment but geez. ...

I need to apologize to everyone, I've been half adding it for most of my time in this RP. No excuses really, I haven't been this best neighbor to y'all, and I know I haven't been as good as RPer as I could be. My apologies for offending you like that Skirt, y'all didn't have to let me join y'all in this most excellent RP. I certainly know that I can do better, and I promise to be better than I've been, and if I break that promise I will probably give this RP a bow and take my leave of this rp as to not bring y'all and it down. I am only upset with myself, and everyone one of y'all have been pretty awesome fellow RPers. I can do better, I will even it I'm not as active as I have been. Again, my apologies, thank you.

Don't be sore -- we LIKE you and want to RP with you. <3 Just a friendly pointer or two is all. It would appear my playful teasing didn't come across as such. :cookie:

Edit the second: For those of you who don't know, http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1169314-what-happened/ is the source of the endless "half-assed" jokes. Not to rehash, and for the most part, we're over it, but it's sort of become funnier to joke about the supposed "lack of effort".

Oh, that makes me feel better about all this, I felt as though I was bringin' everyybody down with how poorly I've been, how poorly I think I've been at least. Am I the only one that hasn't read all posts, other than the posts my characters are involved with.

@Surfer -- OH GREAT, suuuuuure, Frieda'd love a bloody mess on her doorstep. I mean -- happy birthday :celebrate:

@Wolfman -- no no no no noooooo <3 I wrongly assumed everyone had read the Thread of Complaining, which is why we've joked constantly about our posts/RP in general being half-assed. It was never anything personal.

Happy Birthday Surfer, mine is tomorrow. :cake: Great post :foodndrink:

Gotcha Skirt, it had me wondering big time. I'm going to reply to Celese in my next post with Rusty, and in the OOC did you mean Rust intro himself to Joe and get into that conversation with him and Celeste? Cause I'll do that, make things very interesting.

Happy birthday Surfer, amazing post!

He's within eavesdropping range

Happy birthday, mate. :tops:

It is your birthday... right?

I'll post later. Just need to do some catching up.

@all: Thanks guys. Its the 13th, but I'll be out of internet "range" then :thumbsup:

Happy birthday to both 'Surfer and Cobra. Hope you both have a good time guys. :celebrate:

@Elvis: Maybe Jimmy could see Pawnee come back into town. :biggrin: I'm sure he'd like that.

EDIT: @Skirt & 'Surfer. Great posts there guys. I liked the Yao guai attack & I wonder how Joe will talk his way out of trouble if Pawnee says he knows Joe sold him out

Okay, I'm sorry guys but I can't exactly dedicate myself to this RP too much anymore. I might be back, might not be. Don't know right now. If it's okay with the hosts I'll give control of Jesse to Wolfman. If it's not, then one of the hosts can take him. His usual deal is just patrolling the streets of Grayditch. Not to hard to do, you could just mention walking past him every now and then when in town. Or serving him lunch once in a while or whatever.

Sorry about ditching out like this, but I don't post unless there's atleast some quality in it. :shrug:

Ah, Holy, we are gonna miss you brother. I hope to be in another RP with you some day.

Skirt, I hope that his thoughts on him and her didn't come of as, prudish I think the word is, I wanted to shed some light on his... "Animal Side" you could call it.

Prudish is kind of the opposite of what Rusty's thoughts were there mate. But you definately showed his "animal side".

*smacks his forehead* No it wasn't prudish, very uh, what is the opposite of prudish again? I hope it wasn't uncomfortable for anyone to read though.

goodbye Holy , hope you will come back soon..

@wolfman: I liked your post & James has come over to say hello :biggrin:
